--><p>Unlike other genera of Elaeagnaceae, Hippophaë is wind-pollinated and the flowers are unscented. Flowers are conspicuous in spring because they develop before the leaves; in fall, the plants blaze with large clusters of bright orange fruits. The fruits are a rich source of vitamin C; the juice may protect against arsenic toxicity (R. Gupta and S. J. Flora 2005).</p>
